Trapped on board for 19 days, migrants stranded on Open Arms charity ship jump overboard in attempt to swim to nearby Italian island
The reporter said that those jumping were "desperate and going mad" after 19 days trapped on board.
Live video showed people wearing life vests floating in the sea, some in groups some individually, with a coast guard vessel nearby and rubber dinghies trying to reach them. The NGO's spokeswoman, Laura Lanuza, said she heard from Open Arms crew members that "those who remain aboard are threatening with jumping as well".
